Re: Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand |
More than 30 years after I read 'On the Road' I read Carolyn Casady's book. Then I read OTR again, and saw it in a completely different light. OK I was a teenager the first time, but things like leaving your wife with a new baby to hitchhike across the country to see some jazz definitely did not seem quite so cool as it had earlier. It remains a fantastic piece of writing, and captures the effervescence of the experience, but it's not a Life Manual.
